Aim
The aim of this institution is to improve cooperation and coordination between research institutes, academic departments and industry that form the European biomedical imaging community in order to create a network of European biomedical imaging institutes, co-ordinate the development of biomedical imaging technologies within Europe and support the dissemination of knowledge with the ultimate goal of improving diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disease.
It develops and organises research projects within the Sixth and the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Union to create an environment in which medical doctors, physicists, chemists, mathematicians, molecular biologists, computer scientists, and other technologists and technicians can co-operate productively.

Famous quotes containing the word aim:
“To attempt the destruction of our passions is the height of folly. What a noble aim is that of the zealot who tortures himself like a madman in order to desire nothing, love nothing, feel nothing, and who, if he succeeded, would end up a complete monster!”
—Denis Diderot (1713–1784)
“Though I am young and cannot tell
Either what death or love is well,
Yet I have heard they both bear darts,
And both do aim at human hearts:
And then again, I have been told,
Love wounds with heat, as death with cold;”
—Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
“Culture must have its ultimate aim in the metaphysical or it will cease to be culture.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
